the lesson. After the lesson you will be able to discuss the positives and negatives
of the New Deal and you will have synthesized both primary and secondary source

Conclusion
As
we have seen the great depression was a very tough time in our nation’s
history. Roosevelt’s policies were meant to keep people working because there
were far too few jobs to go around. Additionally many new regulations were put
into place to insure something like the great depression would not happen
again. We have also learned that even though Roosevelt was a very popular
president he still had his critics and political opponents. This lesson has
many great events that you can base your historical interest project on. The
WPA produced many murals and if you are interested in art you can make a WPA mural.
There are many new deal projects locally that you can visit and learn about as
well.
